Solomon Hykes' Journey with Docker and Dagger
Solomon Hykes, co-founder of Dagger and founder of Docker, shares his journey from engineering student to pioneer of container technology. His interest in cloud computing and configuration management led to the creation of Docker, initially as a Platform as a Service (PaaS) before transitioning to open source container tech. The pivot to open sourcing was a game changer, as it allowed a wider adoption and growth of Docker, despite its dramatic ups and downs in popularity. After leaving Docker in 2018, Hykes launched Dagger to address persistent issues in continuous integration (CI), where he focuses on streamlining development processes.
